Today is the 125th Labor Day: the day you get to celebrate how hard you work every other day of the year by skipping work, drinking beer and cooking meat with fire.

If you're like us, you don't actually have the day off but will pretend you do anyway. Here are some ways to pretend:

Don't work much.
Make frequent visits to the park. Or parks.
Drink beer.

If you're like many people, have fun! We won't jinx you with the S word or by saying anything about h-e-a-t, but keep your fingers crossed. Buy some charcoal at Gus's market and light a bonfire. We'll see you in the Panhandle.
